"Go and fuck yourself"

Tesla cable too short: political bully has to pay

Political activist Rudolf Fußi parked his Tesla incorrectly in Vienna's eighth district on Tuesday. He is now defending himself on Platform X by claiming that his charging cable was too short for him to park differently. Moreover, the street was wide anyway, wrote Fußi.

"Not a problem, but the official whinnies have to neigh," says the PR consultant and entrepreneur. "To the brainless junkie who doesn't understand that there's no other way to deal with the charging cable: go and fuck yourself," Fußi wrote angrily. He also posted the parking ticket, which shows that the incident took place early Tuesday afternoon in Breitenfelder Gasse in Vienna's eighth district. The activist parked his black Tesla against the prescribed direction of travel.

User: "Not a problem with the StVO"
Initial reactions to the uproar have been predominantly negative. Several X users recommend that Fußi buy a longer charging cable and accept the fine. "But a charging cable that is too short is not a problem under the StVO (road traffic regulations)," writes one user, for example. "You can't bend everything to suit your needs," notes another user.

You're just too emotional for Twitter. The StVO doesn't really care about the length of your charging cable. Pay your lesson, accept that you messed up and pay your fine.

Occasionally, however, it is also said that someone has had a similar experience themselves and has already had to pay for parking tickets anyway.

According to the City of Vienna, the fine must be paid within two weeks. If the parking obstructs traffic, more than 100 euros are due. The most expensive penalty is to park your vehicle in a disabled parking space without authorization.
